Alpha, IA64, AMD64 is (like i386) a little endian machine. Sparc and 
HPPA is big endian.

Cyrus-IMAP 2.1.x and 2.2.x (up to 2.2.3) work fine on sparc64. After 
2.2.4 (on 2.2.10) i got error:

Dec 27 21:23:19 satira nntp[24755]: DBERROR db4: PANIC: fatal region 
error detected; run recovery
Dec 27 21:23:19 satira nntp[24755]: DBERROR: critical database situation
Dec 27 21:23:19 satira master[24747]: service nntp pid 24755 in READY 
state: terminated abnormally

Changelog:
* Added berkeley_locks_max, berkeley_txns_max and berkeley_cachesize 
options.

by default:
berkeley_cachesize: 512
berkeley_locks_max: 50000
berkeley_txns_max: 100

but Cyrus IMAP on 64bit bgendian incorrectly interprets defaults 
numerical parameters of a imapd.conf: all of them are equal to zero!

if i add in my imapd.conf:

berkeley_cachesize: 512
berkeley_locks_max: 50000
berkeley_txns_max: 100

cyrus imap starts to work well!

quick patch:

Thanks a lot!
